- NataliaJune 2, 2013Stick to the seafood here - it's the best choice, super-fresh. Their salted baked crab is beyond awesome, great clams, too. The service is awkward in a cute way. A totally true-school place, no BS.Upvote1Downvote
diana chowJanuary 2, 2013The hot and sour catfish soup is incredibly good if you like lemongrass and tamarind flavors. And catfish, obvs.Upvote2Downvote
Tina BackMay 28, 2012I think my husband and I definitely have to make another trip to sf just to come back here for the crab and clams! So deliciously awesome and I can't stop thinking about it!!UpvoteDownvote
JonesJuly 26, 2016Good stuff. The salted crab is great. Clams with black bean sauce ok. Garlic noodles good and pea shoots good. Service was fast and friendlyUpvoteDownvote
Chris BrackertAugust 28, 2014The salted baked crab is not cheap ($41) but split it with someone and get the garlic noodles and a veggie dish.Upvote1Downvote

Lane RettigSeptember 30, 2013The food was tasty but the seafood is crazy overpriced and the service so so. Go for the beef ho fun, eight bucks and delicious.UpvoteDownvote
Stephen DavisJune 16, 2013Get the imperial rolls, they are like egg rolls but way better.UpvoteDownvote
Nauman NoorMarch 29, 2013Pretty reasonable. The chicken in black bean sauce was delish, though service a bit slowUpvoteDownvote
Ivan GérardAugust 7, 2013Very disappointed. Read good critics, so the expectations were high. We had four soups that were ok. Problem is that they served the entrees just after having brought the soups...Upvote1Downvote
Glenn PogueApril 17, 2010The whole bass in garlic sauce is amazing. The fried wontons are great too.UpvoteDownvote
AysemSeptember 23, 2012The worst garlic noodle you can eat!! Poor service, greasy and flavorless food.Upvote1Downvote
Michael StoneDecember 27, 2013Horrible staff. Mediocre and bland tasting food. What kind of Vietnamese place does not have Pho?!?!UpvoteDownvote1
